Pomegranate Flowers: NaPoWriMo 2022: Ode For a Poet

[4/5/2022]

I want to know what you know,

And to know it as clearly.

I want to laugh into the sea reflected in your eyes.

Walk fearlessly between the birds’ surprised wings,

Know what it is the sunshine sings through rain,

And be certain, I am not alone in pain.

Even the stones speak to you of wonder.

I quietly blunder in a muffled world

When everything, everything, everything

Should be calling me to join the dance.

I have lost my rhythm, even while

I watch your heart unfurled.
